Her leftist nemesis Jean-Luc Melenchon, the France Unbowed leader who once called Le Pen "half-demented", tweeted his "total disagreement" with the court order. "It's not these kind of methods that will drive back the far right," wrote Melenchon.

Yep, This kind of thing feeds the far right and the narrative which pulls people in.

Bannon is an amoral sack of crap, but he’s no idiot and knows a feast when he sees one.

"Yep, This kind of thing feeds the far right and the narrative which pulls people in.!"

But this is a decision from the tribunal, it's not political. and the reason is "to establish whether Le Pen "is capable of understanding remarks and answering questions"." and if you heard any of her interview you know she never ever answers the question, always starts complaining about something else...so, i guess it's legit ?

She posted on her twitter (which was not with limited access) a video/pictures of the James Foley beheading. This is an infraction in France, in this situation, by law the judge has to order the psychiatric evaluation to ensure the citizen is sane. Nothing deserving all this attention.

Justice system is same for everybody ! But she will always say it's some political scheme to silence her and so on, then says they are all cheating and it's not fair and go pouting in her room.

But this is a decision from the tribunal, it's not political.

In some alternate reality maybe the Justice system is same for all, In the current French reality the Justice system is a reflection of the people who want and have no problem with the Daesh (IS) immigrants.

Live in the system, abide by the system.

This is the frightening mentality that will allow fascism to rise again.The USSR sent dissidents to mental hospitals to be "cured" (i.e. to be locked up, tortured and injected with drugs until they really were mentally ill).

And it was all perfectly legal and according to the law. Live in the system, abide by the system. I was just following orders....

I hope you'll be right, but honestly the support coming from outside (US-Bannon, Russia, obviously to break Europe) to the extrem right groups is worrying.

Many European countries could and should have prevented the rise of the far right with sane immigration policies. In my own country, the UK, leaders from both major parties admitted they got this wrong.

The likes of Bannon are just throwing fuel onto a fire that was already blazing. Who’d have thought Sweden would see a far-right surge?

What fear-mongering tripe. In your very own Russia dissidents are still murdered and imprisoned. The law is Don Putin.

Psychiatric tests are the norm in France when convicted of certain things. Drink driving to start with.

The alt-right movement in France fizzled out like an 80 year old sans Viagra. It's the radical left people want to worry about.

Many European countries could and should have prevented the rise of the far right with sane immigration policies.

An academic was quoted in the Guardian saying public opinion polls over the past 20 years consistently show the Swedes DON'T want increased levels of immigration. So what do the ruling govts do? They jack up immigration levels all that time, with shutting down public discourse.

And then.... the mainstream parties start losing at the polls to populists, and start the hang wringing, including calling some members of the public racists and bigots. The mainstream pols are reaping what they've been sowing.

Jimizo, they got it wrong alright. And ordinary Europeans will be paying the price for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile the Merkels etc keep covering their asses and crushing dissenting opinions to the point of legislating through ridiculous "ant-islamophobia" laws so citizens can be prosecuted if they have the temerity to voice their concerns. Disgraceful.
